USING THE IRONKEY UNLOCKER ON WINDOWS
The IronKey Unlocker allows you to securely access your les on multiple operating systems.
It prompts you for your password, securely validates it, and then mounts your secure volume
where all of your les are stored on the IronKey.
Here is how to unlock your IronKey on Windows 2000 (SP4), XP (SP2+), and Vista:
Step Description
1 Plug in your IronKey and unlock
it with your password.
When you plug your IronKey in, the “Unlock Your
IronKey” window appears.
If this screen does not appear, you can start it •
manually by double-clicking the IronKey Unlocker
drive in “My Computer” and double-clicking the
“IronKey.exe” le.
Entering your password correctly (which is veried •
in hardware) will mount your secure volume with
all your secure applications and les.
Entering the wrong password 10 consecutive times •
will permanently erase all of your data. After every
three attempts, you must unplug and reinsert the
IronKey.
2 Choose which action to take
when you unlock it.
By selecting the corresponding checkboxes before
unlocking your IronKey, you can view your secure les,
launch the IronKey Control Panel, unlock the IronKey
in Read-Only Mode where les cannot be edited, and
securely log into your my.ironkey.com account.
